Perfect holiday reds

12/23/2015

There's no lipstick like red lipstick. It was the first ever lipstick colour that became widely popular and to this day is a first ''bold'' lip colour we try when we start experimenting with makeup. Also, it is a go-to colour for the Holidays, mainly because we associate everything that's green, white and red with Christmas. I don't mind it at all, I love going out and seeing everyone wearing red lips. It feels festive, it looks great, and it lifts your look from ''I didn't try at all'' to ''I decided on casual chic''.

So what are the products for the perfect red lips this winter?

Bourjois Rouge Edition velvet in Grand Cru The darkest red in this Bourjois line is the darkest red in this post as well. One layer will give you lighter (and sometimes uneven) colour, but with two layers it will look great. Soft, matte finish is what makes this liquid lipstick so special.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo Inexpensive version of the Bourjois lipstick and the lightest red here. I've been wearing this lip cream for years and I really enjoy it.

MAC Viva Glam I lipstick My all time favourite red lipsticks. There's something about MAC lipsticks that always makes you want to wear them and this one is no exception. Colour is rich and deep, while the texture is somewhere between cream and matte.

Deborah Atomic red mat lipstick in 05 Similar to the MAC lipstick, but with a slightly cooler undertone. It is very matte and rarely smudges.

Rimmel Lasting finish by Kate in 01 Creamier than the previous one, but their colour is almost identical. It will never dry your lips out and it used to be my favourite until I tried MAC Viva glam.

What do you think, do you like wearing red lips this time of the year, or you think it's a winter cliche?
